There’s nothing more important than our relationship, nothing. 

And we dig being together all the time. 

Both of us could survive apart but what for? 

I’m not going to sacrifice love, real love 

for any whore or any friend or any business, 

because in the end you’re alone at night and neither of us want to be. 

And you can’t fill a bed with groupies. 

It doesn’t work. I don’t want to be a swinger. 

I’ve been through it all and nothing works better 

than to have someone you love hold you.”

If it's not okay, it's not the end.”

I'd like ya to clap your hands to this one; 

the rest of you can just rattle your jewelry!” 

“Free as a bird

It's the next best thing to be

Free as a bird.

Home, home and dry

Like a homing bird I'll fly

As a bird on wings.

Whatever happened to

The life that we once knew?

Can we really live without each other?

Where did we lose the touch

That seemed to mean so much?

It always made me feel so free.”
